Overview
WooCommerce Groups links products in a WooCommerce store to groups in the Groups membership and access control system. When a customer purchases a product, the plugin can assign them to one or more groups. Store owners can use those group assignments to provide members with access to selected content, products, or services.
The plugin supports both ongoing and time-limited memberships, giving store owners options for different access periods. It also works with WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring billing on subscription-based memberships. This setup suits businesses that sell member access through their store, including sites with tiered access or several groups with different permissions.
Features
- Automatic group assignment: Assign customers to one or more groups based on the WooCommerce products they purchase, connecting orders with member access.
- Time-limited memberships: Set memberships to expire after a chosen period, making it possible to offer access for a limited duration.
- Recurring subscriptions: Work with WooCommerce Subscriptions to support recurring billing for subscription-based memberships.
- Group-based access control: Use the Groups system to restrict access to selected content, products, or services for members of specific groups.
- Multiple group assignments: Assign a customer to multiple groups at the same time to support layered access permissions and varied membership structures.
- Membership management shortcodes: Display membership or subscription information with shortcodes that accept a user ID, username, or email address.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling member access
- Sites with restricted content or products
- Subscription-based membership businesses
